Our vision is to Preserve, Protect and Promote Findlay Market. Market Volunteers help to make this vision a reality in a variety of ways! From special events to beautification projects, community engagement to hosting tours, there are many ways to get involved and support Findlay Market initiatives.
Special Event Volunteers
Our special events are a great way to introduce new people to the market, bring life-long shoppers together, and volunteer with your friends and family.

Be a Volunteer Tour Guide!
Interested in giving historical tours at Findlay Market? We’d love to have you join our team of volunteer tour guides! We give a lot of tours to school groups, folks from out of town, corporate teams looking to expand their knowledge of the city, and so many more incredible people. In order to keep up with increasing demand, we are looking for eager volunteers who are interested in giving walking tours of Findlay Market and have relatively open availability, as tours occur Tuesday - Saturday.
If you’re interested in becoming a volunteer tour guide, please reach out to Anna Bennett at abennett@findlaymarket.org to start a conversation.

Findlay Market Cleanup
Saturday, April 18, 2026 – Saturday, October 17 • 9 - 10:30 AM
Help us keep the area around Findlay Market clean, safe, and beautiful! Volunteer projects will vary, and may include anything from picking up litter, to removing graffiti, to planting flowers.
Gleaning at the Market
Join the Findlay Market gleaning team to help collect, weigh, and record food donated weekly by vendors, Tuesdays starting at 5:30. Help Findlay vendors support their community in one more significant way by keeping this delicious food from going to waste, and re-routing it to a nearby homeless shelter kitchen and free fridge. You will not need a vehicle, and can get your shopping done before your shift! Contact Sue Plummer/Soc. of St. Andrew at 513-458-9808 or sw-ohio@endhunger.org.
